Not OP, doesn't the Irssi Windows build come with a minimal build of Cygwin?

OP here
Got firefox and I can easily use the internet but NO channels work I just get this

[INFO] Attempting to connect to “irc.rizon.net”. Use /cancel to abort.

mibbit

X-Chat 2

www.silverex.org

>>19615072
It comes with the cygwin.dll, but you don't want to use irssi without a proper terminal (xterm or urxvt, not that windows command prompt bullshit)

xchat or mIRC will do.

mIRC. anyone who knocks it doesn't know shit.

>>19615157
Can't you fix your own shit?

Proprietary, archaic and convoluted.

Might be a DNS issue; try one of Rizon's mirrors. ("mirror" probably isn't the right word to use, but you get what I mean.)

what is this? i used shareware in 2000 when i didn't know any better, but wouldn't go near it now, why? no reason to; switched to free software

>>19615380
>2011
>caring about copyright
Pretty sure most of /g/ uses some pirated software on a more-or-less daily basis.

>>19615406
sure, but an IRC client?

I can understand pirating things like video games and photoshop (i still pirate games), but not anything that has great if not better free alternatives

>>19615251

>its all text

OP here
I can connect to channels on mibbit but not chatzilla or any other non-broswer IRC
Why?

bump

>>19615437
yes, it's possible for text-heavy things to be ugly

nope

>>19615242
stop being a faggot, OP.

Chatzilla is pretty good, since I keep Firefox open at all times anyway.

X-chat

Xchat-WDK for sure.

the one that is integrated into the Opera browser is excellent

>>19615603
firewall issues?

silverex xchat, don't use xchat-wdk because WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NEED A *DRIVER* DEVELOPMENT KIT FOR A DESKTOP APPLICATION IF NOT FOR A BOTNET?

And don't tell me "lol look at source", his "source" is a dump of the upstream xchat code.

>>19615666
HOW TO FIX IT

>>19615743
how to fix what? I don't even know which firewall you're using, let alone what configuration

>>19615701
>WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NEED A *DRIVER* DEVELOPMENT KIT FOR A DESKTOP APPLICATION IF NOT FOR A BOTNET?
>implying
Yeah, no, XChat-WDK is safe. So I heard, anyway. I just use XChat (on Linux).

>>19615743
This is the point where I'd just say stop using Windows.

>>19615754
Probably the one that comes with Windows.

>>19615762
If it's just the default windows one, IRC client connections should work by default, windows doesn't block outgoing connections by default. So I assume he must have a third party firewall.

>mIRC
No.
>XChat
GTK.
>irssi
Console.
>HydraIRC
No plugins.

Fuck why is everything so bad?

>>19615762
>ITS SAFE I SWEAR
Sounds like the botnet talking.

>>19615802
>everything except Qt is terrible
stay classy, gtk+ is pretty cool

Why do you need a GUI for a irc client?

It's fucking text.

>>19615809
Qt is shit too.
Windows APIs on Windows > shitty frameworks.

mIRC
/thread

>>19615828
Windows snobbery alert.

>>19615808
I think you missed the part where I said I don't even use it and I don't really give a shit. I know you're trolling, but for the benefit of the rest of /g/, there's no real reason a botnet would need a driver development kit (following the same logic as you).

>>19615839
I don't care what you think.
Qt looks out of place and GTK is crashy and both are slow.

>>19615828
I haven't tried it much, but GTK+ works pretty well on Windows

But I agree that sticking to native toolkits is a good idea (i assume you mean widget toolkit rather than OS API)

>>19615838
NO U

i only use irc to download and opera works fine and means I never have to leave my browser.

If there was an OS that was just a browser I'd buy that shit day 1.

>crashy
Zero problems here, maybe your fucking bolted together frankenputer shit is the problem.
>slow
Nope.
>>19615842
I'm not trolling, ffs. Why do you think that 1) a program that doesn't involve drivers at all needs a driver development kit and 2) it blatantly violates the GPL by not providing its own code?

>>19615864
Not really the same thing you want but try Emacs.

OP here
Cannot connext, mibbit works other shit doesn't
using standards windows firewall

>>19615878
oh and in before kids that can't read, read my first post on the matter, the code they provide is NOT the source of their version, it is a direct dump of the upstream plain XChat code.

>>19615889
What is your outgoing rules? should set it to "allow all"

perhaps add your program(s) to a white list or w/e windows uses now

>>19615908
> allow all
lol

>>19615917
for outgoing. what's wrong with that?

it's incoming you should be careful with

>>19615878
Botnets don't involve drivers either, that's my point.

>>19615895
You didn't make it clear that XChat-WDK actually differs from XChat for anything other than involving WDK (which might involve source changes, but not being a Windows developer I don't know). I initially thought your GPL violation remark was with regards to XChat-WDK involving the proprietary WDK.

>>19615864
you mean chromeos?

>>19615908
turned it all off
still not workin

>>19615941
then you must have wrong settings in the IRC applications, my first guess would be to double check the server name and port number, many servers uses ports other than 6667

also, don't forget to re-enable your firewall once it's sorted

>>19615923
Oh wow, wouldn't want you to administrate any of my server.

> let's just allow everything to do whatever they want, who cares who sends what!

>>19615977
OP isn't on a server, dumbass

>>19615941
Might also be whatever antivirus you're using with its inbuilt firewall (which all decent antivirus programs should come with). Try disabling any AV you have running to test if IRC works.

>>19615977
I have full control over my server, I know what shit it's sending, so I might as well just open up everything.

>>19615990
That has no relevance, dumbass.

>>19616005
>>19615990
You enjoy them hijacked machines sending everything to their master without any limits. I'll be over here where it's safe.

>>19616017
if my machine was hijacked, you'd think they would know how to add a rule to my firewall, huh?

Bahahaha!

>>19616078
Never said I was an expert, hence why I asked;
>what's wrong with that?

Enjoying acting like a prick? If there's something wrong with my knowledge, offer corrections.
